I wish I hadn't ordered my CPC Rounder samples (42 Viewers)

[Timmah]

Because they’re amazing and now I want to order two sets. One cash and one tourney. They look great. The colors are deep and rich. The feel is great. They sound is great. I’ve worked in table games for almost 25 years. These are by far the best non casino made chips I have ever touched. Now I just have to save up $4000-$5000 for my two sets…

Don't forget to get the best dealer button along with them.

That circle square mold has a great feel to it, and that hundo may be the most iconic non-casino chip ever, so ya rounders!
Lets not forget that absolutely fire 500!

 

[Rieguy]

Nah just buy Paulsons. My Paulsons.

So I can make another CPC set.

Debbie Downer reasonable chipper here.

How about buying $25, $100, and $500 denominations to use as .25, $1 and $5 and divide by 100? Then your table will be filled with the chips used the scenes with Mikey and KGB instead of ones that you never saw in the movie!!!

I know what you're thinking: "My group of players are like chimps and can't do the maffs to divide by 100." No problem - just tell them to pretend the $ sign is a cents sign.

I sold off my Paulson Classics to get these, and don’t regret it for a second.

When I order, it will be a custom set. I ordered the Rounders set to have CPC chips in hand. This way I could feel them and see them before placing a $2000 order.

I'm not the only reasonable one???!!! As cool as the rounders are, customs FTW.

Can't stop staring at these, they look so good all together like that!

Seems reasonable to me. Get a nice set of chips to use while designing and waiting for full customs. I did this before my first set.

I have two custom Tina sets ordered.1000 Greek mold cash set for the Feb group buy and a 1100 Web mold tourney set for March group buy. Before learning about Tina sets, and finding this forum, I ordered 1700 semi custom Nevada Jacks from BR.

 

[TKEUofM]

You won’t regret it. Awesome set.

Not trying to derail the thread, I'm a new chipper and have been researching doing custom chips and Tina's seem to be a great option at a modest cost. Do you regret getting the Tina sets and wish you went to CPC right away? And if you don't mind quicky sharing your experience with designing and ordering the sets you have?

I haven’t received my Tina sets yet. The cash set was ordered in the February group buy, and the tournament set was ordered in the March group buy. Ordering was amazingly easy. @justincarothers makes the process simple, and answer all questions you might have. I did order many sample sets and the Greek mold is amazing. Early feedback is that the Web mold is amazing as well. I used an amazing graphic designer. @mattross1313. He designed both the cash and the tournament sets. He also designed a dealer button, and card protectors for me to give to the tournament winners. He was very fun to work with, and I will use him in the future for my CPC sets and other poker projects.

As for CPC chips, they’re not in my budget right now. $1250 all in for 2100 Tina chips. Around $4000 for 1400 CPC chips. Tina chips will do for now. BTW I highly recommend getting some Tina samples if you’re contemplating. The quality is unreal for only .50 a chip.

 

[Tonystark137]

Just curious who are you getting to produce your card protectors?

Dealer buttons and card protectors were made by BR Pro Poker.

You need to get samples of both and decide which you like better.

If you like CPCs better, and you're like the most of us here, you'll end up buying them eventually.

That being said, generic Tina's (or generic CPCs/casino Paulsons if you have the budget) can be resold, and would make a good interim set until you take your time to design something meaningful to spend 1000s on.

I appreciate the advice from the both of you, I think I'm still a while out from pulling the trigger on anything. But I will have to grab some samples!

 

[potatolei]

Damn those chips are nice. Must be so rewarding to play a game using those.

 

[Grimalkin]

I wish they never upgraded the spot pattern for $500 then went back down for 1k and 5k…. Makes no sense?

 

[Semonix]

Amazing chips no doubt and the DB is also very nice.

Well the original movie chips only went up to 500 so the $1 to $500 are the replicas from the movie so they needed to keep the spot patter on the $500( even though the $1s and $5s never made it into the movie they were ordered and manufactured for the movie). When CPC made the extra chips to supplement the rounders set they should have continued with the spot pattern on the 500 for the 1k and 5k but they didn’t probably a cost saving decision, but I’m not sure.

I traded a set of Park Place Abbiati chips for a semi custom set of Rounders/CPC chips and after felting them last weekend to rave reviews and comments of ‘ one of the absolute best sets you’ve ever owned ‘ by several of my good friends, I heartily recommend these. They are awesome and the circle square mold is a great choice!

 

[Rakrul]

[...]These are by far the best non casino made chips I have ever touched.[...]

To be fair, CPC (or ASM as they were called before) has sold tons of chips to casinos in the old days and it's the same recipe so technically they're casino chips as well, even though the Rounders chips aren't from a casino.
